Tree Carving Sculpture Public Art
Created for the Ragdale Artist Residency 2024
Public Art Installation
The Ragdale Tree Project, “Diversity of Birds,” was created for the Ragdale Foundation Artist Residency Program. A 200 year old elm tree passed away from Dutch Elm disease and was transformed into a public art tree sculpture by a team of artists.
This project was made possible with the generous support of Louisa and Nelson Levy.
